TWO LEGENDARY US AND UK
WRITER/PRODUCERS TEAM UP TO PRODUCE A NEW AND EXCITING LONDON GROUP, THE DELGONIVES!
‘Soul girl’ part 1 & 2 is destined to follow in
the well-loved and respected Southern USA ‘Beach Music’ genre. Part 1 is the
shorter version of this happy fun loving and catchy melody with a straight -
four ‘Beach Music’ dance beat. Part 2 is “dedicated to all the soul girls out
there” and simulates an in studio production with a cappella vocalising
interspersed throughout. This 2015 performance by ‘The Delgonives’ marks number
five in their recent releases and reminiscent of those 60’s classics from The
Beach Boys, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, The Catalinas and The Embers.
‘Soul girl’ is co written by the Paladino brothers,
Robert and Mike. Mike was drummer with ‘The Epitome of Sound’ and some times
personal drummer with Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Robert Paladino is
the famed writer/producer of Northern Soul #4 rated anthem ‘You don’t love me’
by ‘The Epitome of Sound’ on Sandbag records. ‘YDLM’ is also included on the
recently released hit compilation album ‘Northern Soul The Film’ soundtrack and
the soon to be released ‘Odyssey Time Capsule’ which is the definitive
celebration of the phenomena called ‘Northern Soul’. Robert and his 60’s vocal
group ‘The Brooks Four’ are inductees into the prestigious ‘Jersey girls sing –
Hall of Fame’ with his penned doo-wop collectors classic recording ‘I’ll be
faithful’ on Sinclair records. ‘The Brooks Four’ also recorded as ‘The Four
Winds’ and ‘The Teamates’ and were produced by Tommy Devito and Nick Massi of
the world famous Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons on the recording ‘A Chance
to Live’ and sang background vocals on the Bernadette Carroll release ‘Nicky’.
Carl Dixon co wrote and produced Spyder Turner and
Cherokee Pree in the ‘Motor City’ with legend Dennis Coffey and some of the great
‘Funk Brothers’ back in 2008. Last year Spyder performed ‘Tell me (crying over
you)’ one of those recordings, live on stage for the very first time in the UK
at the famous Prestatyn Soul Weekender. ‘Glory Fleeting’ by Spyder, ‘Suddenly
there’s you’ by Pree and ‘Detroit (city by the river) by Bandtraxs were the
other recordings from that exceptional session. Later that same year Carl
teamed up with Philly legend Bobby Eli where they co wrote, along with singer
songwriter Chiquita Green, four new songs in his ‘Grooveyard’ studio. The two
released songs from that session are ‘There I go falling in love again’ sung by
Chiquita and ‘Soul Recession’ by legendary Salsoul recording harmony group ‘Double
Exposure’ famous for such releases as ’My love is free’, ‘Ten percent’ and
‘Every man’. ‘Soul Recession’ has recently been remixed and included on the
‘Philly ReGrooved 3 Tom Moulton Remixes’ double CD. Carl has also recently
collaborated with UK soul singer Diane Shaw on a song called ‘Good lovin man’
which is currently receiving airplay in the UK and US and in addition been
pressed on to 7” vinyl along with her excellent rendition of the classic ‘Leave
a little love’ originally performed by Lulu. Carl has also written most of The
Delgonives songs such as ‘Libby, let’s leave it at that’, ‘Never should have
kissed you’, ‘Santa, let’s leave it at that’ and written ‘Guess he’s just an
old friend’ which is performed by ‘Leah Cammell featuring The Delgonives’.
This Delgonives recording of ‘Soul girl’ is a
throwback to those times when harmony vocal groups would compete hoping to hit
the big time by my making the charts and getting national radio airplay and TV
appearances. We hope you enjoy it!
The official release date is the 1st February 2015 and
the track can be purchased from
CD Baby, Amazon, iTunes and all leading download and
streaming services.
